Zoom Zoo

Developed from the former Ruhr Zoo, which was founded in 1949, the ambitious plan to redesign and develop the area of ​​more than 30 hectares at the turn of the millennium, to create a true world of experience in the field of nature observation in the heart of the Ruhrgebiet. The result was the novel Zoom Erlebniswelt, in which more than 900 animals from more than 100 different animal species have their home today. The zoo can look back on more than 60 years of history and at the same time shines in modern splendor.Zoom Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen boasts that it is possible to undertake a "world tour in one day" and to discover first hand the three "A's - Alaska, Africa and Asia. Through virtually invisible borders, new and impressive encounters between humans and animals are possible every day.

Zoom Erlebniswelt - Vegetation Zones

The Alaska theme area represents four different vegetation zones: the coastal rainforest, the tundra, the mountainous region and the polar region. A special highlight is a fully glazed underwater tunnel across the seal pool, where you can really get in touch with the lively sea animals. An igloo on an ice floe also carries visitors across the water in the "Alaska Ice Adventure" and very close to the animals of frosty ice worlds.

In the area of ​​Africa, visitors walk through an authentically designed Central African village with local domestic animal breeds and various landscape formations such as savanna and rainforest. In a paddle steamer reminiscent of boats from the film classic "African Queen", zoo visitors can work their way past the landscape enclosures and admire animals and landscapes of the unique continent.

Asia is the newest area of ​​the adventure zoo - including orangutans and fruit bats in a jungle landscape. Some walk on a circular walk at 5 meters height through the green tropical world and experience exotic animals and plants from the heights.

In addition, there is the Grimberger Hof on the grounds of the Zoom Erlebniswelt - a themed area with Central European farm animals and a pet zoo in the style of an old local farm.
